A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
A clause has been added to the calls for tenders' specifications for construction and renovation projects. Contractors must therefore commit to the standards and manage waste responsibly (and anticipate and quote for the expected costs involved). In 2017-2018, the data collected showed that the dedicated containers for construction waste were sent to be sorted out and recycled. A specific fee was paid for this service.
